seeking the ancestry of Sally Cady b. 1800/01 at Providence,RI ( 1880 Census
daughter says mother b. RI father born Ireland). Sally Cady m. 1820 May
to Alex McFarland at Providence. Mr. McFarland was of the Scotch-Irish ilk.
During the 1830-40 's it seems the McFarlands went to Ohio but returned
by the late 1840's as Sarah d. 1849 - no parents listed. Alex d. 1876 at
Providence.
3 children known:
Alex McFarland jr. d. at sea (mariner)
John McFarland(living 1850 w/ father) at Attleboro.
Sarah McFarland m. Elijah Caswell
Sally Cady is perhaps the daughter of (Shubail Cady and Anna/Nancy Earle) or
(Zebulon Cady and Sally Freeman) - both of Providence.
I had thought that Zebulon might be the father since his wife is also named
Sally as well but he removes to Connecticut before 1820 - so why leave
a 19 year old daughter in Providence ????
Not sure about Shubail or Anna Earle. he isnt in providence in 1810 so far
as I can see.
any help much appreciated.
